About this Item

CWG Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Le Riche was founded in 1996 by Etienne le Riche, one of the founding members of the Cape Winemakers Guild (CWG). Situated on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain, it is now run by Etienne’s son, Christo and daughter, Yvonne. Le Riche are known for premium red wines in a classic South African style. Grapes are selected from top growers in Stellenbosch, coming from mainly two soil types – decomposed granite soils and sandy gravel. The winemaking approach is traditionally simplistic, yet innovative.

Critics Ratings

‘More alcohol & new oak than Cabernet Reserve, but 2009 single vineyard selection has bright fruit, minty complexity, intensity & balance to cope brilliantly. Richly silky, it compels from enticing aromas to lingering & genuinely dry finish. Should improve for many years.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (2013)
